Main Street Restrooms Refurb

[RSoxNo1]

That sink is going to be confused with a urinal!

I wasn't aware there was a difference.

The new finishes are very nice and a companion facility is a welcome addition. However the sinks are far from the turn of the 19th century design of town square.

We should just install a hand water pump then. People can pump their own water to wash their hands...

Um no. It is similar to replacing the gas lanterns on Main Street with LED bulbs. Hasn't happened, but would be unfortunate. In reality I don't know what the new sinks replaced, but I imagine they were standard sinks of the 70's, so no loss.

Found this in Google but this is what it used to be.

I think the new sinks look nicer in general, and to be honest, I also would say that the new sinks definitely look more "turn of the century" compared to the old ones.

Update successful. Corian was not particularly Victorian.

I just did some research, and in fact I think Victorian Era sinks were often more trough like.

Yeah, and as someone else said it's not like their gonna make guests pump the water. I think the new sinks are more accurate.

Most Victorian upper class homes and commercial facilities had china pedestal or wall mount sinks in the bathroom, not pumps.

You crazy Americans, every time you call them bathrooms, I want to ask "Well where's the bath? Hey?"

But then you go and do great things like have awesome fireworks for July 4th that just make me smile. So I guess I can let you off those little language differences.

Belated Happy Independance day to you all, I can't wait to join you again in August for two weeks of fun, and I will be sure to check out those new bathrooms. They do look pretty smart!

They should just change it to a guardians of the Galaxy attraction

Better the sinks as a horse trough than the urinals which you would see at any number of stadiums.

"Hey man, nice watch."

Old joke.

Very smart looking! DHS's bathrooms could do with a makeover. The ones inside ABC Commissary and Backlot Express were very dated and small.

The bathrooms shared between the Commissary/Sci Fi and Prime Time/Hollywood & Vine are definitely undersized considering the capacities of those restaurants. With the way everything was built, I'm not sure how'd you expand them at this point, without major renovations. Maybe as part of the upcoming refurbs?

Photo update as of Friday, July 8. A daytime overall perspective. They were painting behind the walls today, so I expect the walls will be removed soon. Both refurbished restrooms are open, as posted earlier. The entire open air court was re-painted.
